Tea State Trails

The “Tea State Trails” in Sri Lanka—more commonly known as “Tea Country Trails”—are one of the most iconic and immersive ways to experience the island’s rich colonial heritage, scenic beauty, and the legacy of Ceylon tea. These trails wind through the lush Hill Country of central Sri Lanka, primarily in and around Hatton, Nuwara Eliya, and Ella, where rolling hills are blanketed with verdant tea plantations.
